"Yes, Princess."
Hearing the sound of the rain, he hurriedly helped me out of the yard.After wandering around the gazebo for a while, I saw a maid in a light yellow palace dress walking over."
The light yellow palace dress, it should be the maid of the Beixing Palace, call her over."
A sneer rose at the corner of my mouth, the queen made her hands and feet on the jade bracelet, and then arranged for me to live in the Beixing Palace, obviously colluding with that concubine.If I don't take precautions, I'm afraid I won't even see the sun tomorrow.Listening to the rain, I hurriedly ran over with my skirt and brought the yellow-clothed maid to me."
Slave and maid see the princess and maid."
The yellow-clothed maid bowed her head a little apprehensively and saluted me.I raised my hand in a dignified manner and said, "Get up." ”At the same time as the yellow-clothed maid stood up, she walked around behind her without a trace of the rain, and slashed her neck with a fierce palm, and the yellow-clothed maid fainted.Since Tingyu was injured in one of her arms on the carriage, I didn't let her help, and I carried the yellow-clothed maid back to the room on my back.After I put the yellow-clothed maid on the chair and tied it with a rope, I suddenly saw Tingyu standing at the door, crying with tears in her eyes, and a white-folded little face with tear stains, which looked very pitiful."
What's wrong" I frowned slightly, this girl didn't even scream in pain when her muscles were torn, and now she was crying.Listening to the rain, he knelt on the ground and choked up: "Princess, you think about the slave and maid everywhere, and the slave and maid have a fact that they can't bear to hide from you, so I want to tell you at this time." ”"What's the matter?"
I asked curiously.Listening to the rain crying, the pear blossom brought the rain, and said while sobbing: "Princess, the slave maid is actually sent by the prince to monitor you, but from today on, the slave maid is willing to be used by the princess, as long as you don't let me say something, the slave and maid will lose their lives, and they will never be revealed to the prince." ”I smiled slightly and said softly: "Get up quickly, I have already guessed these things, you don't have to show loyalty to me, in the future, the prince will ask you, you can say whatever you want, as long as you don't betray me." ”Tingyu stood up and nodded desperately, and said in a sonorous tone: "Don't worry, the princess, the slave and maid swear allegiance to the death, and will never do anything like a traitor" "Okay, you first find a broom and clean up the dregs of the jade bracelet on the ground." ”I instructed Listening to the Rain, turned around again, and secretly took out a bottle of irritating potion from the healer's system.I dipped a little potion with a cotton swab and wiped it a few times on the temples and heavenly spirit cover of the yellow-clothed maid, and soon, under the stimulation of the potion, the maid woke up.The "princess" yellow-clothed maid slowly opened her eyes, and when she saw me standing in front of her, she was so frightened that she hurriedly got up to salute, but found that she was tied to a chair and couldn't stand up.Afraid that she would shout when she reacted, I hurriedly plugged her mouth with a silk handkerchief, and said in a low voice: "Don't be afraid, this princess has no malicious intentions, you only need to answer a few questions now, after answering, this princess will let you go, if you want to play any tricks, or be dishonest, don't blame this princess for being ruthless." ”As I spoke, I slipped a scalpel out of my cuff and pressed it lightly against her neck.The yellow-clothed maid panicked, and a pair of already bright eyes suddenly became a layer of mist, looking at me pitifully, and nodded desperately.I smiled with satisfaction, covered my hand with a silk handkerchief, picked up a jade bracelet fragment from the ground, stretched it out under her nose, and asked, "Do you recognize this fragrance?"
The yellow-clothed maid sniffed lightly, her face changed suddenly, and she hurriedly shook her head again, nodded again, and made a "woo" sound in her mouth.Seeing this, I couldn't help but get nervous too, and hurriedly removed the silk handkerchief stuffed in her mouth.The yellow-clothed maid gasped a few breaths, looked at me with tears in her eyes, and said in a trembling voice: "Princess Niangniang, my concubine Niangniang is wronged, and the slave promises that this broken jade is definitely not my concubine's Niangniang's thing." ”I couldn't help frowning, this jade bracelet was really manipulated by the queen."
This jade bracelet is indeed not your concubine's, but the queen gave it to me."
I tentatively replied to the girl in yellow.When the yellow-clothed maid heard me say this, she breathed a sigh of relief, but when she looked at me, she looked like she wanted to say something, as if she was worried about something.I lowered my face and asked in a deep voice: "Are you scrupling about the queen" The girl in yellow just looked at me in fear, and even stopped crying in fright, refusing to confide a word in her mouth for a long time."
If you don't say it again, the princess will personally ask the queen mother, what kind of conspiracy is there in the middle, if the princess finds out about your concubine, it will be reported to the emperor When the time comes, the entire Beixing Palace, as long as the people related to the concubine, will all be punished, including you" I said coldly, and glanced at her again, "Why do you have to hesitate" The yellow-clothed maid turned pale with fright, and hurriedly shook her head, "No, no princess, my concubine is innocent, and it is the queen who wants to harm you." ”I couldn't help but raise my eyebrows, this maid seemed to know a lot, and asked: "Tell me more, what is the fragrance on this broken jade, if you dare to deceive, I guarantee that you will not see the sun tomorrow." ”No one is really afraid of death, those who are not afraid of death are just able to bear the fear that death brings to them, but if the fear is aggravated and his heart is broken, no matter how strong he is, he will also feel afraid.What's more, sitting in front of me was just a little girl.The yellow-clothed maid wiped her tears with her shoulder, and said weakly: "My concubine Niangniang was originally the princess of the Northern Tart Kingdom, but due to the perennial conquest of the East Leaving Country, it has become more and more powerful, so our Northern Tart Country has to take the initiative to surrender. ”"And the surrender token that our Bei Tart dedicated to Dongli is the current Concubine Chen, the world knows that our royal family in Bei Tart is good at using Gu, so Concubine Chen Niangniang is no exception," "Because this Dongli's harem is frightening and unpredictable, Concubine Chen's Niangniang raised a lot of Gu in the Beixing Palace in order to protect herself. ”"Therefore, Concubine Chen's mother has repeatedly escaped the plots of other concubines."
I nodded thoughtfully, and then asked: "But why do other concubines repeatedly harm Concubine Chen" After listening to me, the yellow-clothed maid immediately wrote anger on her face, "It's all because of the emperor, who bluntly said that he wanted to have a prince with my concubine Niangniang, and said that he would cultivate well in the future, and he would definitely be able to do great things." ”Before the words fell, the yellow-clothed maid's face changed, she pursed her lips tightly, her eyes were full of horror, "The princess and the maid spared her life, the slave didn't say anything, she didn't say anything, and begged the princess for forgiveness." ”The girl in yellow looks like she is sixteen or seventeen years old, with a delicate little face and very clear eyes, and she looks like a simple-minded little girl.Although she bluntly judged the emperor and was a major crime of killing his head, I didn't have a good impression of the emperor, even if someone scolded the emperor in front of me, I wouldn't care too much, and I would be lazy to care.I smiled and shook my head, "You don't have to be afraid, but remember to be aware in the future, not everyone will be like me." ”At the same time, I can't help but feel some pity in my heart for Concubine Chen, a woman in her prime of life, but she was sent to another country as a gift by her mother country.And the emperor bluntly said that he wanted to have a prince with Concubine Chen, which also had a purpose, and when the time came, he and Concubine Chen's son would have the blood of the royal families of Beitar and Dongli in their bodies, and he could use this prince to annex Beitar.But in the harem, it has always been the mother who relies on her son, as long as Concubine Chen is born as a prince, her status will naturally rise, and when the time comes, at least half of the concubines in the harem will be trampled under her feet, so the concubines in each palace are unscrupulous to deal with Concubine Chen and prevent her from giving birth to a son.I sighed, ignored the grateful eyes of the yellow-clothed maid, and asked, "You haven't told this princess what is the matter with the scent of broken jade." ”Because I generously spared her life, the yellow-clothed maid was also obedient to me a lot, and replied directly: "Niangniang doesn't know, the fragrance on this broken jade is a kind of floral fragrance, this flower is called Gu Wenxiang, as the name suggests, this fragrance has a fatal attraction to Gu, as long as a little sticky on a person's body, it can attract thousands of Gu insects of all sizes." ”Hearing this, my face changed slightly, my eyes narrowed slightly, and I asked the yellow-clothed maid again: "Are you sure" The yellow-clothed maid hurriedly nodded: "The slave maid is also a person from the northern tart, she grew up with Concubine Chen's mother since she was a child, and she has also seen Gu insects of all sizes. ”What a queen, I thought you were extremely good with the original owner's mother, but I didn't expect it to be like this.I now understand that the only person who wants to harm me is the queen, and Concubine Chen is not only not the one who harms me, but is also a victim like me.The queen knew that Concubine Chen had Gu worms in the Beixing Palace, and she deliberately dyed the smell of Gu incense on the jade bracelet and handed it to me.Obviously, this move, the queen's goal is to kill two birds with one stone, she wants to use the jade bracelet to attract Gu worms to bite me to death, and then plant the blame to Concubine Chen, when the time comes, she will definitely give Concubine Chen a high hat to murder the princess, either put it in the cold palace, or send it to Dali Temple, waiting to be beheaded.In short, as long as the queen succeeds in this matter, then this game of chess will be a win-win situation, not only in addition to me, but also in addition to Concubine Chen, and she can also put herself out of the matter.I immediately told the yellow-clothed maid all the things that I had deduced, and untied her, and at the same time asked: "How can I prevent those Gu worms from coming" The yellow-clothed maid didn't think about it, she shook her head directly, and said: "Now it can't be prevented, because your whole body is stained with the smell of Gu smell, so wherever you go in this palace, the Gu worms can follow you, and now it's getting late, it is estimated that the palace gate has long been closed" Hearing this, my heart also sank sharply, if it was just an ordinary insect, I don't have the slightest worry at all, but this is a Gu worm, and it can also attract thousands of species, and there is not only one of each kind, so calculated in this way, at least tens of thousands of Gu will come to me.The thought of an overwhelming number of bugs coming at me gave me chills and goosebumps."
So, I can only wait here to die tonight" I said to the yellow-clothed maid with some despair, "If that's the case, then I can't help your concubine Chen, I believe that as soon as tomorrow dawn, the queen will bring someone to arrest the murderer Concubine Chen" The yellow-clothed maid was extremely loyal to Concubine Chen, and when she heard that her concubine couldn't live tomorrow, she was so frightened that she immediately cried, "There is really no way for you to think about it." ”I didn't hold out any hope, and casually said to the maid in yellow.Who knows, the yellow-clothed maid patted her forehead, as if she remembered something, and hurriedly told me that before Concubine Chen married to the East and left the country, she wore a horizontal flute given to her by the old Gu King, as long as the old Gu King taught her flute sounded, no matter how fierce the Gu worm was, it would be controlled.But since marrying into the Dongli Palace, the yellow-clothed maid has never seen Concubine Chen take out the flute, and I don't know if it was because Concubine Chen didn't want to see things and think about people and put it away, or if it was lost.Without further ado, I hurriedly left a note on the table for Tingyu to stay in the room obediently and not run around
